How to use:
Follow your doctor's instructions to the letter when taking Flexifen 200mg Tablet SR.
Because it releases slowly, it is usually given once a day.
Do not crush or chew the pill; just swallow it whole with a glass of water. This could change how it is released.
To avoid upsetting your stomach, always take the tablet after eating.
Keep going for the whole amount of time; don't stop or take more than the recommended dose without talking to your doctor.
How it works:
Aceclofenac is the active component in Flexifen 200mg Tablet SR.
It is a type of NSAID (non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug).
How it works:
Aceclofenac stops cyclooxygenase (COX) enzymes from making prostaglandins, which are chemical messengers that induce pain, inflammation, and fever.
It works well to lower pain, edema, and inflammation by reducing prostaglandin levels.
The SR (Sustained Release) formulation makes sure that pain relief lasts for a long time and happens slowly, so you don't have to take it as often.
